What is the de Broglie wavelength formula for a particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$?

Study flashcard from the deck NEET UG High-Yield Review (Biology, Physics, Chemistry).

Answer

$\lambda = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE_k}}$.

Explanation

This formula underpins wave-particle duality and the quantum mechanical model of atomic orbitals.
